I've seen a few comments regarding handles that break. Does this happen often? I need a new mop but this issue worries me.

Our housekeeper uses the mop I purchased to clean several properties. She had another DynaMop that she had used for several years, until it was stolen. She has never had any problems with the DynaMop. She says it is the best mop she has ever used.

I read that too before I purchased it and was a little leary, but I haven't any proablems. I have all hardwood floors and this mop spins out so dry that I can damp mop alot more often. I feel like the floors are much cleaner than just vacuuming. The mop heads rinse out so well I've not had to replace the first one.

I have had no trouble with this issue. I use my Bissell everyday. I did make sure that the handle was screwed in tight when I first got it, but not enough to crack the handle. If you have a problem with it coming lose, try a piece of electrical or the very thin white tape used in sprinkler systems.

Sorry to hear that. No we haven't had any problems at all with the handle. We do have a little water leaking out the top of it if that top knob comes loose, but no issues with the handle

We've had our mop for about a year, and last week it suddenly stopped spraying. When we'd squeeze the trigger, it seemed jammed or struck.I almost bought a new mop, but in one last desperate move I got a thin sewing needle and poked it into the center of the spray nozzle. That fixed it!Give it a try if yours stops spraying.

Must be faulty; contact Olympia Tools customer service and they'll send you a new handle. They did for me.

I had the same problem when I first started using mine. The secret of keeping mop together is where you hold the mop. YOu must hold it on the little sliding plastic piece in the middle of the mop handle, so as not to unscrew it.

I have the same problem and I just called Bissell and they are sending me a new handle. We will see.

I am wondering the same question. This mop is horrible. After I step the foot pedal like 10 times, mop head is still dripping when I squeeze with my hands. It leaves streaks marks and floor takes forever to get dry.

I bought mine last year and have had no trouble. I love my mop. They are a little tricky to get on the handle, though, but they worked very well.

So what is your opinion about the refurbished mop? I wouldn't mind one if all the kinks have been fixed.

the directions I found said to stand on the strands and tip the mop handle to the side...................NO NO. I broke the handle. My dear husband is trying to get it glued back together but I'm thinking it will need to be a new handle. I will try the screw driver next time. Thanks

Mine was cracked too...and the red handle was missing. I didn't even realize it was missing until I got a larger one later. You might return it but mine works fine and the crack never got worse.

I have had the same problem just last week. The plastic piece on one side, that holds the nozzle in place from the inside, broke. I do not have any idea why. I only use this vacuum for daily very light clean up after dinner. Have had this unit for 17 months and am not happy with the quality of the parts.

Funny you should ask. When I bought the mop, I also bought two replacement sponge heads. When I recently put one on the replacements onto the handle (no problem), it fell apart the first time I used it. I can only imagine the sponge gets brittle with age, even in its box. Casabella replaced it for me without charge (but didn't send two, even though I'd reported having purchased two replacements). But to get to the point, I don't know whether my mop handle is the "older traditional classic ... Bee" or not. Sorry.

Take this advice - look elsewhere. This mop snapped in half when I put very very light pressure on it. Crappiest mop I've ever used.

I have not had any issues with the handles; however the construction of this item is substandard. I'll be happy if I get 10 years out of this item.

I have had this problem also.. could also be why my handle recently came off from the constant up and down. Mine never went down all the wsy just a notch or 2
